“We could not be happier with the care Cassidy provided while watching our 3 dogs in our home. It is always stressful leaving our dogs at home, but Cassidy made us feel completely at ease. She stayed at our house for a week and treated both our home and our dogs with the utmost respect. We received 2 updates with photos, which we truly appreciated. All 3 dogs were so calm, happy, and well-cared for when we returned home. On top of that, the house was left clean—it felt like we never even left. Cassidy is professional, communicative, and trustworthy. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier dog sitter that stays at your house.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Zachary! He stayed at our home for four nights while we were away, and we came home to a clean house and a very happy dog! Luna absolutely loved him, and it was clear she was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Zachary was great about communicating and regularly sent us photos and videos, which we really appreciated. He even went out of his way to spend time with our rabbit, Miso, who didn’t necessarily need much care, and sent us updates on her too! It was so sweet seeing her warm up to him. He was respectful of our home, attentive to our animals, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Zachary again and highly recommend him!”
“Mary was wonderful work with. Responsive, clear and trustworthy. Our dogs were in great hands. She sent regular updates and think our dogs had more fun then we did. Highly recommended.”
“AMAZING!!! Susan was wonderful, and so accommodating. She took fantastic care of our furry family members and our home. I had so much peace of mind knowing they were in wonderful hands. Thank you so much Susan!!!”
About: I've cared for dogs for almost two years now. Whenever I am with a dog, they always have my constant attention, and I am usually with them. I have given them medicine, fed them, taken them for walks, and spent 2-7 days with them. Before I started dog-sitting, I would take dogs for walks when people weren't home or would feed them when they were not home. Pet care usually fits into my weekend routine more than anything, about 2-3 times a month, and occasionally on weeknights. I have gone to school while also taking care of the dogs, so I would wake up early, take them for walks, come back after school, and spend the rest of the night with them. When I am in someone else's home or a client's home, I take very good care of their home. I take the trash out, sometimes vacuum, and do the dishes, make the bed, and overall just take care of the house because I know that it is very important aspect of looking after someones dog.
“Evan was wonderful with Mabel! He took such great care of her in our home, and his communication throughout gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a very happy, calm, and clearly well-loved Great Dane. ❤️ It was obvious Mabel enjoyed having him here! We would absolutely have Evan watch her again and highly recommend him!”
“Frances did such a great job house sitting our dogs and cats! Not only did she take care of our pets, but also she left the house in great shape for our return. We needed a sitter last minute and we are so glad we found Frances!”
About: I am a responsible, mature, and loving pet-sitter. I understand the concern you feel for your fur baby and will provide consisent care and attention while you are away from home. I have always had dogs and cats of my own and love them as part of the family. I am currently freelance and set my own schedule. When I care for your pet they are my priority, and I will care for them as I would my own pets. I understand the needs of dogs and cats while their owner is away, and I will give them loving care until you return home to them.
“It was a pleasure meeting Sarah and having her stay with Beef and Frannie. She kept in touch during her stay letting me know everyone was well, comfortable and already snoring. 😴 🐶🐶”
About: My partner and I both love hanging out and taking care of people’s pets, so we’ve decided to do it together. We both grew up with dogs and cats respectively, and overall, just love animals. We’d be more than happy to check in on your per, take them for a walk and make sure that they don’t feel alone while you have to be out. We have three cats of our own; one of them has allergies that we perform shots on her for. If your pet has such needs, we have experience in that department! I work from home two weeks of the month currently and will be expecting to be fully home by February. During those weeks, I can come anytime of day but the other two weeks, I’ll be available Thursday-Sunday. I’ll confirm that your pet is healthy and ensure that they’re comfortable with my presence / actions. I’ll also follow all instructions provided to me and share updates after each visit.
“We cannot recommend Jyllian enough. We have two big dogs and one is very quirky and anxious at times. We’ve never left them with a stranger before they always travel with us. Jyllian was wonderful with our boys, went above and beyond and we could tell from the pictures she shared every day that they were at ease and very comfortable with her already. She was wonderful, trustworthy, dependable, and treated them like her own - all things someone hopes for in a great pet sitter. We are so glad we found her and our boys have a new best friend!”

“This is my second time booking with Kayla and she was great again! Chloe really likes her, and she sent photo updates throughout the day, which I appreciated. when I was worried about Chloe’s eye, she responded quickly and sent photos that put me at ease. She also kept the house clean and took out the garbage, which was a nice suprise! I would absolutely book her again.”
“Melinda was great, she did housesitting and watched and loved my two boys. She communicated any questions and concerns she had and also sent pictures that made me feel comfortable being that this was my first time using rover. I will definitely be using her again in the near future”
About: My name is Hunter and my wife’s name is Hope, I am 25 and she is 24. We absolutely love animals. We both have several cats and dogs of our own. I’ve grown up in a family that have had lots of pets as well. I’ve been dog/ cat sitting for about 4 years now and I really enjoy doing it as a side hustle. I am able to give meditation and take your dogs for walks as requested by owners. I work a full time job during the week from 6am-2pm during the week. I have off on Thursdays and the weekends which I can be at your house anytime before or after then. I am able to do two drop in visits per day. I always make sure nothing is left out or down that pets can accidentally get ahold of. I also always supervise pets whether they are in the house or out in the yard.
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child! I understand that dogs are more than pets- they're family! That's why I provide personalized, attentive care that goes beyond a simple walk or feeding schedule. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, relaxing stroll, overnight companionship, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I focus on creating a safe, loving, stress-free experience tailored to their individual needs and personality. As a mother I understand how important it is to find a quality care-giver you can trust. That same level of care, responsibility, patience, and attention is what I bring to every dog I walk and sit. My approach is rooted in patience, reliability, and attentiveness. I pay close attention to details, follow routines carefully, and make sure your dog receives affection, exercise, and the care they deserve. You'll receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to stay connected to your furry family member. Even though my family doesn't have a dog currently, my children would love to have one. I felt that pet sitting and dog walking would be a good way for my children to see what it's like to have a dog. I will make sure your dog will be well taken care of! I'm able to check on your dog and/or walk your dog throughout the day. I'll make sure your dog is well taken care of, given plenty of food, water, and attention! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around while at my house! I also have children who love dogs. While pet sitting in your home, I will be professional, and respectful of your home.
About: I've been dog, cat, and baby sitting since I was 12 years old (I'm 25 now). I guess I've always had a nurturing quality about me😄. I've grown up with many pets, (dogs, rabbit, turtle, hamsters, degus, etc...) and love to give them the best care, because they deserve it! Currently I have a 5 year old pup named Muffin. She is the sweetest girl in the world! Currently she's visiting my parents (her grand-pawrents🥹) who she loves sooo much. I miss her DEARLY but I will pour that love into your fur baby instead!❤️ My schedule is open at the moment, and I'm ready to care for your precious pups. I'm flexible with my time, and if you have specific care requests, so feel free to reach out with any questions/requests. I will put the safety of your pup first, in all situations. I don't crate pups, I don't let pups go up to others when on walks, or take them to dog parks (unless desired by owner). I keep the pup leashed at all times outside, unless otherwise stated by the owner. I have had no accidents while pet sitting, and do not intend to. You and your pups safety and happiness are my top priority. If your pup wants pets for an hour, I'll pet them for an hour, if they want to play fetch or other games, I'll do that! I just want to ensure your pup is well loved and cared for.

Cassidy did a fabulous job watching our 2 kitties, Kit & Kat for the weeknd. It was 4 months since she last watched them, yet as soon as Kat saw her, he immediately came over for pets and rolled on the floor with his belly up. It was clear he remembered Cassidy and was looking forward to hanging out with her again. Cassidy always had pics on hand and followed all our care requests. When we came back, the apt was immaculate looking as always. The best part is, I can count on Cassidy to be incredibly reliable and super caring with the kitties. She has a wonderful, gentle demeanor and a super big heart. I'm so grateful for her and I know the kitties are too!
Hannah’s fabulous! I had to give her complicated instructions, and Frankie’s taking some complicated meds, so her stay with Frankie had a lot of details. Crushed it, and I was so much more comfortable being gone. And I think they both had a great time! Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Hannah!
Amanda was amazing! We didn't have to worry at all about our husky Lilly! She sent numerous pictures and messages to let us know how things were going back home. She went the extra mile by taking care of things she didn't have to like feeding our fishy, Thicc Shark and watering our plants. She was respectful, personable, and easy to work with. We will definitely be using her again! 5 stars all the way around!! Book with Amanda and you will not be disappointed. 😀
This is our second time using Sujeong and we plan to use her in the future. She provides so many updates and pictures. She communicates promptly and follows all care instructions. Our dog was so comfortable while we were away, which gave us peace of mind to enjoy our trip.
Jyllian was amazing! She took amazing care of my senior dog and was attentive to all of his needs. She was great at communicating and sent pictures through the stay. She also left my house in perfect condition. She’s definitely the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!
Annie came to our rescue when our booked sitter cancelled on us the day before our Spring Break family trip. We were not sure if we could find a good sitter on such short notice. Annie house sit for us and sent regular updates and photos that let us know that our dog and two cats were being well-taken care of. She literally saved our vacation! We cannot recommend Annie enough for juggling her own busy schedule to ensure our pets got the full care and attention we wanted for them. We will happily have Annie back to take care of our babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Palmdale is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $103 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 993 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Palmdale walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Palmdale maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Palmdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palmdale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
